Since it's inception, Dragonfly Designs has partnered with Nest (buildanest.com), an organization of artists helping artists to lead communities out of poverty. We are raising money to support a six-week fellowship to the Dominican Republic this summer. Stacee Gillelen and her daughter's were selected to represent Nest to teach entrepreneurial skills needed to build an art-based business in The Dominican Republic.

The FUNraiser will feature a Caribbean-themed menu, Caribbean dance performance, DJ "Le Charm," jewelry activities for children and adults, guest speakers, Elvis from the "Doghouse" as guest emcee, and a performance by bluegrass band, the Harkenbacks.

About Me

http://www.jewelrybydfly.com/about-artist.html
My passion for beading began one day while I was 'making jewelry' with my three young daughters.
In February of 2005, I launched Dragonfly Designs.
I feel immense gratitude for the abundance in my life and for the opportunities I have been given. I also feel a personal responsibility as a global citizen to give something back to the community, which is why I am choosing to donate a portion of each sale of Dragonfly Designs jewelry to an organization that works to improve the human condition (especially for women and children), promote equality, and protect the environment.
The great loves of my life are laughter, family, friends, travel, nature, and, of course, beads. All of these passions are now embodied in the inspiration that is Dragonfly Designs. I hope you receive as much joy from wearing my jewelry as I do in making it for you.
